For those who'll be unable to grab a physical copy, you can find a digital copy here.

Ze rules:

Review as often or as little as you like. Once you've posted 5 reviews, you will be awarded 1 pick. You can post 5 reviews, right? That's a totally achievable goal and with day and date digital releases becoming the standard, it shouldn't matter if your shop ordered enough copies of this weeks comic or not.

When multiple Review Groupers have posted 5 (or more) qualifying reviews, they will be awarded their pick in the order that they qualified. What constitutes a qualifying review? Any review posted (with a score on a scale from 0-10, that's right 0!) within 1 calendar month of the thread going live. Reviews posted while waiting in line for your pick will be applied to your next pick.

I'll be keeping track of everyone's progress with the newly christened Spreadsheet of Fantastic (RIP, Spreadsheet of Doom) and reporting the results in the Current Members list in the weekly OP. When it's your turn to make a pick, I will PM you. If you do not respond to me by Midnight EST the following Sunday, you will lose your pick and I will start a poll to determine that week's selection.

Any week in which we do not have a Review Grouper with 5 qualifying picks, we will determine the week's comic via poll.

If it's your week to pick, remember to keep it under $3.99.

Naturally, this new system is new and it may be necessary to make changes as we go.

Since no one else has logged in 5 reviews, I'll put up a poll later this week for next week's pick. Next week's releases can be viewed here. Suggestions for what will make it to the poll are welcome.

Son of Stein

I've never really been a fan of Bermejo. Hos Batman Noel did little for me but with this issue - my opinion has totally changed. BEAUTIFUL stuff within (despite the gruesomeness).

The book basically follows Rorschach in his mission to stop some drug dealers. Sounds simple enough until his plan goes wrong and he gets the shit kicked out him. Later, as Kovacs explains his battered face, he tells a friend the story of how he got mugged the night before and how they made a mistake. They left him alive.

The plot may be thin but Azz's writing hit the right tome for this book. I loved the bit where Rorschach meets the mini's antagonist... "Crime fighter, right? That's what you are?... Well it's nice to finally meet'choo.... I'm Crime".

Scenes like that coupled with this incredible art just makes for a great start to this mini.

Since the voting poll ended in a three-way and that my vote went to Batman INC, Wednesday's pick will be one of three finalists. The main reason for the pick being decided by me (out of the three) is because it's simply easier to do that. Juggling to is acceptable, though tough; balancing the scores of three comics is another thing. Though, to be fair, this group's activity would just make it a cake walk. With that being said, the next comic on the review block will be......

Rocketeer: Cargo of Doom #1

Celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Rocketeer with an all-new full-length series!

Dave Stevens created the Rocketeer in 1982 and it has proven to be a uniquely enduring Character. Now Cliff Secord and the Rocketeer take to the skies once again as Mark Waid and Chris Samnee spin a yarn in the best tradition of Dave Stevens, bringing us a tale of great adventure, suspense and humor!

A ship docks in Los Angeles harbor from a far-off and exotic locale—with a big, mysterious… and living… cargo! Danger and mayhem abound as our hero leaps into the fray! Plus, we introduce a lovely new character who will be vying against Betty for Cliff’s affections!
